Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher rating of the veteran's lumbar spine disability was remanded. The Board found that the VA examination was inadequate and ordered a new one.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that a new VA examination is warranted to correct a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the December 2023 decision.
